Surprisingly, tooth paste works well on shoes by taking off scuff and other marks. It is sticky and can pull out most stains from your shoes.

Here is the list of supplies that you need:
~An old scuffed or marked pair of shoes
~An old tube of tooth paste (or a new one if you prefer) ( and it can't be gel tooth paste, just regular paste)
~An older washcloth
~An old toothbrush

Step 1Preparing the Washcloth!

Preparing the Washcloth!
The first step on your way to a clean shoe is to wet your washcloth with warm water so that it is only wet on one corner. The other parts of the washcloth will be used later to rinse and dry off your shoe. Make sure you ring out the washcloth before you continue onto the next step, so that water doesn't get all over the place while you clean.
